[quote=Anonymous]So much of our work can be categorized as email filler. I notice that my supervisor will complicate a really basic email to make the whole experience feel like work. Tasks that are very straight forward and responses that could be one sentence or now wordy and long winded. I feel that many people's jobs are simple due to technological advances. Most of these people are now over the age of 50 and still responsible for these tasks. Our meetings are rarely about work. Work is more about how to use a new tech system, enter information into automated software, or communicate. Very little work is actually about a substantive issue like solving crime, reducing poverty, solving terminal diseases, or building fuel-efficient heat. I think work feels more futile because it truly is. I predict that AI will reduce white collar jobs, and some of these fluff positions will need people with real-life thinking skills to solve human problems. [/quote]
